If you want to start making your way south, I would suggest Red Bank over Long Branch. If you are looking for something along the ocean, Long Branch probably isn't too bad. Everything along the ocean will be a little quieter this time of the year without the summer crowds (* just saw you are coming in May, things start to pick back up and will be hectic around Memorial Day, 26-29 May give or take). Where ever you choose between Long Branch to Point Pleasant will be pretty welcoming (except for Deal) but also very different. Asbury Park has a interesting boardwalk but might not be interesting for 7 yo. Belmar has a good down town but not much of a boardwalk. Spring Lake is a little more upscale but a nice family friendly town. Point Pleasant is good and has a boardwalk that might appeal more to children.
